Question

I have an index view that lists items, and it’s a long list so I use Paginator to limit items to 50-to-a-view.

Each item has an “edit” link that goes to an edit view with inputs/validations/etc. When that form is submitted, I redirect the use back to the index view.

So far so good, but here’s the rub:

If a user is on page N of the index and they click edit and edit an item, I want them to be redirected back to page N of the index. If I knew the page number, I could just stick “/page:N” on to end of the URL, but I have no idea how I can get the page number. (N could be any page number, but especially >=2)

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Answer 1

The page number should be part of the $params var in the list view. Just tack it onto the end of the edit link and handle it from there. On the edit page you will need a way to take in the optional page number, store it during any form submission, and forward back to the list with the same page number.
